The Wine

Laurent Delaunay began his career in Burgundy, but these days he makes wine in France's Languedoc, sourcing parcels of top-quality grapes from old, low-yielding, out-of-the-way vineyards. With Grenache from Minervois, Syrah from Beziers, and Mourvèdre from La Clape and Corbières, Pontificis combines the best of the Languedoc in this classic Rhône blend.
